Best movie of this year hands down!
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
After Nite Owl, Rorsarsch, here Jen works with Dr. Manhattan ! If her character is engaging as a human right activist, all things around suck : Her watchmen boyfriend is just totally despicable: he seems to pursue more personal interest than the common one. The flow of the movie is exploded by the constant flashbacks: as there are actually 3 time-lines to follow (before the accident, after the accident, now), it's painful to grasp the storyline. The paranormal aspect of the movie is laughable and i have seen better X-files episodes about a ghost ! The 70s/80s fashion and way of life are interesting but at the end, this movie was just a disappointment that I won't repeat !
with many pages, touching drawings, delicate colors, letters as borders and chapters as Matroshka dolls. a love story but little more. because, for me, it remains occasion to discover, again, sad old memories in so measure than it seems be reflection of my story. so, it is difficult to write a review about this film. only my desire - see it. because it is scene for beautiful acting and special trip to yourself. because it is smart, honest and realistic. because it becomes, scene by scene, a mirror for feelings present inside us. for a meeting and for thin line between worlds. for its message and for the silence. and, sure, for actors. or crumbs about sense of existence.
I haven't seen this movie in years but I often think about it. I'm not sure why exactly, but something about it really stuck with me. The performances are fantastic and it is no wonder Jennifer Connelly won an Oscar years later and Billy Crudup is a well respected actor. This isn't a perfect film by any means (a little slow in places) but it is very clever and well done by everyone involved. If you are a serious film buff watch this film, if you like crap like the re-makes "Prom Night" & "One Missed Call" then you should skip this, because you won't know how to appreciate it. Give this a try otherwise and help it open your mind for some of the imaginative people that do exist out there.
A film about a couple whose love for one another combats strongly with their political beliefs and future plans that focuses too much on the politics and too little on the romance. We get very brief introductions to the characters and then out of nowhere they go on a date and are madly in love. The intimate scenes only succeed so well due to the beautiful chemistry of Billy Crudup and Jennifer Connelly who both deliver some powerhouse performances. The political aspect of the film is dull and drags quite a bit, but every time Jennifer is re-introduced into Crudup's life it draws you back in. The finale is thought-provoking and sentimental, but the strength of the scenes with Crudup and Connelly alone together only weakens the quality of the rest of the film.
